IMC Potato Peelers

The IMC SP12 is a floor-standing electric potato peeler mounted on a low pedestal, designed for commercial kitchens that need dependable, repeatable vegetable preparation as part of daily mise en place. It operates on a batch basis rather than continuous feed, making it practical for sites where potato prep happens in stages throughout the day rather than in large unbroken runs.

In a working kitchen environment, the SP12 performs consistently across batches. The carborundum liner abrades and peels evenly, and because the liners and peeling plate are reversible and rust-proof, the machine maintains its performance over time without requiring frequent consumable replacement or specialist servicing. The stainless steel lid with push-fit closure keeps the process contained, which helps maintain a cleaner prep area during operation.

From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the practical advantages include:

• Batch peeling that meaningfully reduces hand-prep time during busy service preparation
• Reversible liners that extend consumable life and lower ongoing replacement costs
• Stainless steel and cast alloy construction that holds up well under regular commercial use
• WRAS-approved Class A air-break fitting, compliant with current UK water regulations without modification
• Low pedestal discharge height suited to compact prep areas or lower worktop configurations

Installation requires a water supply, a drain connection, and an electrical supply. The WRAS-approved air-break means the machine meets UK water regulations as standard. The low pedestal keeps the unit stable on the floor, but it is worth checking the discharge height and overall footprint against your prep area layout before ordering, particularly in tighter kitchens.

The SP12 is well suited to smaller operations — cafés, pub kitchens, school catering facilities, and smaller restaurant kitchens — where potato preparation is a daily requirement but throughput volumes do not justify a larger continuous-feed machine. For higher-volume sites processing significant quantities per shift, a heavier-duty model with greater batch capacity is likely to be a better fit.

If you would like to talk through whether the SP12 is the right match for your prep volumes or installation setup, our team is glad to work through the details with you before you make a decision.

The IMC SP25 is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built for commercial batch peeling. Mounted on a low pedestal, it is designed to handle the steady daily volumes that smaller restaurants, pub kitchens, care homes, and school catering operations typically produce. The pedestal positions the discharge point at a practical working height, which works well where produce is emptied directly into prep containers or sinks at bench level.

In a working kitchen environment, the SP25 holds up well under repeated daily use. The carborundum liner and reversible rust-proof peeling plates are built to withstand the consistent handling that commercial veg prep involves, and the stainless steel lid with secure push-fit keeps mess contained during each cycle. The combination of stainless steel and cast alloy construction cleans down quickly and resists the wear that comes with high-frequency use.

From an operational standpoint, the SP25 offers a number of practical advantages:

• Carborundum liner doubles as a fill guide, supporting consistent batch loading
• Reversible rust-proof peeling plates extend service life and reduce consumable costs
• WRAS-approved Class A air-break ensures compliance with UK water regulations without additional fittings
• Stainless steel and cast alloy construction is straightforward to clean after service
• Low pedestal discharge height aligns well with bench-height prep containers

Installation requires a suitable electrical supply and a cold water connection. The floor-standing base needs a stable, level position with adequate drainage nearby, as water is used throughout the peeling cycle. It is worth allowing clear access around the unit for cleaning and for reversing the liner plates when planning placement.

The SP25 is well suited to smaller and medium-volume operations where daily peeling loads are steady but do not justify a larger machine. For higher-volume sites — hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, or central production units — a heavier-duty machine with greater batch capacity is likely a better fit. If you are unsure whether the SP25 matches your throughput requirements, we are happy to talk it through.

The IMC SP25H is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built for commercial kitchens that need a reliable, repeatable approach to batch veg preparation. It uses a carborundum-lined drum to abrade skin cleanly without manual intervention, and the high pedestal version raises the discharge point to a more practical working height — reducing operator bending and making it easier to transfer product directly into prep containers or sinks nearby.

In a working kitchen this kind of machine earns its place through consistency rather than spectacle. Load, run, discharge, clean — the cycle is straightforward, and that predictability matters when a prep shift is running against a service deadline. The stainless steel and cast alloy construction holds up well to the wet, heavy conditions typical of a veg prep area, and daily use across a long period is well within what the machine is designed for.

The practical advantages from an operational standpoint include:

• Reversible, rust-proof carborundum liners extend service life and reduce consumable cost over time
• Liner also acts as a fill-level guide, helping operators avoid overloading the drum
• Secure push-fit stainless steel lid keeps the machine safe during the peel cycle
• WRAS-approved Class A air-break keeps the installation compliant with UK water regulations
• Designed for straightforward cleaning with minimal disassembly between uses

Installation requires an electrical supply and a plumbed water connection with adequate drainage. The WRAS-approved air-break means backflow prevention is handled within the machine in most standard installations, though your plumber should confirm this against your specific site setup. Make sure the floor area is adequate for the loaded weight of the machine and that drainage can handle the water volume used per cycle.

The SP25H is well suited to kitchens where potatoes are peeled in batches as part of a daily prep routine — pub kitchens, care home catering, small hotels, and busy cafés are typical environments. It is not designed for near-continuous high-volume peeling across a long service window; if your operation demands that level of throughput, a heavier-duty machine with greater load capacity would be worth considering instead.

If you'd like to talk through whether the SP25H is the right fit for your prep volumes or want to go over the installation requirements before committing, our team is glad to help.

The IMC SP12H is a floor-standing electric potato peeler built around a carborundum-lined drum that removes skin consistently through tumbling action, without manual effort. The high pedestal raises the machine's discharge point to a comfortable working height, which reduces unnecessary bending when transferring peeled product to a container or sink — a practical consideration across a full prep shift.

In a working kitchen, this machine is well suited to steady, repeated loading throughout a morning's prep. It handles a solid batch per cycle and is capable of turning over a meaningful weight of potatoes before service, making it practical for sites that prepare potatoes daily at moderate volume. Turnaround between batches is simple — empty, reload, and run again with minimal interruption to the prep workflow.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:

• Carborundum liner doubles as a fill-level indicator, supporting consistent loading across shifts
• Rust-proof peeling plate and reversible liners extend component life and reduce running costs
• WRAS-approved Class A air-break ensures compliance with UK water regulations without modification
• Stainless steel and cast alloy construction holds up reliably in wet prep environments
• Push-fit stainless steel lid contains water and debris effectively during operation

Installation is straightforward. The machine requires a mains electrical connection and a cold water supply. The WRAS-approved air-break means it meets current UK water regulations out of the box, with no additional fitting required. The high pedestal suits kitchens where operators work at standard counter height; if your prep area has restricted headroom, or a lower discharge point would integrate better with your workflow, an alternative pedestal height is worth considering before you order. Floor space requirements are modest, making this a practical fit for smaller prep sections.

This model is well suited to smaller restaurants, gastropubs, care homes, school kitchens, and similar operations with regular but moderate daily potato volumes. For sites with significantly higher throughput or central production requirements, a heavier-duty machine with greater capacity would be a more appropriate choice.

If you'd like to talk through whether this model fits your prep volumes or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.
